| Summary: | River transport is important in Sarawak as the state has a large network of river system. The number of people using this form transportation system is increasing each day. Therefore, the usage of the infrastructure of Kuching terminal will be increase and this would lead to increasing of the risk and problems. The study of this paper focused on problem quantification through risk identification of the Sarawak Rivers Board, Kuching Express Boat Passenger Terminal. In this study, the methods used for data collection was interview and questionnaires. The significance score was acquired through the analysis of questionnaires from both public and experts and the risk were ranked accordingly. From the results and discussion made through the meeting with the expert, roof leakage was considered as the most critical. Although soil erosion theoretically shows the critical result, this risk can only be considered as minor one. Additionally, other risks were also measured but these risks were considered low risk and have no major impact on the terminal. In sum, improvement can be done on the research of risk assessment for other terminal to further improve the accuracy of the significance scores of the risks. |
